On top of the thanks came the big announcement that spring would see something much bigger launch than an Easter Event, with the development team adding: “We continue to be inspired by the passion of the 65+ million people from around the world playing Pokémon GO each month.

“We’re still at the beginning of the journey and there’s a lot more to come. With spring arriving in the northern hemisphere, players can look forward to all new cooperative social gameplay experiences in Pokemon Go that will give Trainers new and exciting reasons to get back into the sunshine.”

The big news fits in with the rumours that have been floating around recently about a major Teams revamp.

Niantic are reportedly working on a big Pokemon Go update which will drastically change the role Teams play, while also adding new gameplay features.
